between a Colt 1911A1 and a 1991A1? also, are the new Colt Commander XSE's any good (ie worth the price...) thanks |

You have 3 types basically, Your typical "O" frame pistol. ie. The US Army pistols and all pre 70 series pistols. Then you have the 70 series, they have a collet bushing, which in theory is a good idea, 80s series go back to a solid bushing and firing pin safety and some of those famous plastics also CNC built.

Colt M1911 hasn't been made since the mid 1920s and he M1911A1 not since WW2. These are US military sidearms. Commercial "Government Models" typically mimic the M1911 and M1911A1 and later models have tricks like firing pin interlocks, etc. The M1911 and it's sisters is probably the most "tricked out" pisol every produced. Just look in any Brownells catalog to see the hundreds of accessories and "improved" parts available. If you want a combat pistol a genuine M1911A1 is hard to beat. -- Chuck |
